espite Saudi Arabia's
official policy of refus-
ing entry to Jews, the
Pentagon says Jewish
soldiers and chaplains are
being sent there with U.S.
forces to repel any Iraqi in-
vasion.
"No one is taken out of a
unit because of religion.
Units go as units," Pentagon
public affairs spokesman
Tom Green said in Washing-
ton.
Another Pentagon official,
who requested anonymity,
said there are "no restric-
tions on religious services"
for U.S. troops inside Saudi
Arabia.
The official, however, said
he had no information on the
number of Jewish chaplains
being sent to the vicinity of
the kingdom.
Rabbi David Lapp, director
of the JWB Jewish
Chaplains Council, said
Wednesday that no U.S.
Jewish military chaplains
are currently in Saudi
Arabia, but that the nearby
U.S. Sixth Fleet and the
USS Saratoga, a battleship,
have Jewish chaplains.
Jewish chaplains in the
Marines and infantry units
have been placed on alert,
but have yet to leave the
United States, he said.
Rabbi Lapp said that if
Jewish chaplains did land in
the Saudi kingdom, "that
would be history," marking
the first such deployment in
an Arab country.
Rabbi Lapp stressed that
the Chaplains Council wants
to be careful of Saudi sen-
sitivities. "We don't want to
embarrass them, nor do we
want to put ammunition in
the hands of Iraq," he said.
"The host country has
always called the shots."
According to Rabbi Lapp,
roughly one percent of U.S.
armed forces personnel are
Jewish. If that same ratio
applied to the U.S. troops
dispatched to the Persian
Gulf, that would mean ap-
proximately 200 Jewish
soldiers are now stationed in
or near Saudi Arabia.
Until the late 1970s, the
U.S. military kept Jews from
participating in contracts
with the Saudis, according to
Steven Emerson, author of
the book, American House of
Saud.
Congressional hearings in
1975 revealed that the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers
had agreed to Saudi
demands that all American
military personnel serving
in Saudi Arabia submit cer-
tificates of religious affilia-
tion and other background
material, says Mr. Emerson.
"These actions effectively
barred Jews from participa-
tion in Saudi projects."
At Saudi Arabia's in-
sistence, American blacks
also were not given military
assignments in that country.
The Saudis relaxed their
policy of excluding Jews,
however, in November 1973,
when American journalists
accompanying Henry Kiss-
inger, a Jew who was then
secretary of state, made his
first trip to the Arab country
after the oil embargo.
Offended by the Saudi visa
application, most of the
journalists refused to in-
dicate their religion. The
Saudis, says Mr. Emerson,
"were forced to look the
other way."
Despite that incident,
though, scores of American
companies — and a few uni-
versities — have been
weeding out Jews from their
projects in Saudi Arabia for
years.
In the late 1970s, for ex-
ample, the Vinnel Corp. in
California insisted that no
personnel with "contacts or
interest in any country not
recognized by Saudi Arabia"
be assigned to the kingdom.
Saudi Arabia does not rec-
ognize Israel.
In addition, Baylor College
of Medicine in Texas refused
to send Jews to Saudi Arabia
for its lucrative car-
diovascular surgical con-
tract with King Faisal
Hospital.
About the same time,
however, the Saudis quietly
started ignoring the fact
that Americans with Jewish
surnames were working on
military or industrial con-
tracts in the kingdom.
Nonetheless, the Saudis
still maintain they will not
allow "Zionists" into the
country, and many Ameri-
can companies still comply
with the anti-Jewish restric-
tions.
Things have changed since
the early '80s "but not that
much," says Mr. Emerson.
"The Saudis still don't have
an open visa policy. If you
write 'Jewish' on the visa
application, you're asking to
be rejected." ❑
